my mother brought me a external hard drive.. she asked me can i check what is wrong with it.. i opened it up and i just began to laugh

Still better than this

Weight?

That's a lot of... space
Badum tss

I'm guessing she bought a Hardrive shell they are like $23 and pretty common hope she didn't get scammed.

@enen that board takes care of hdd communication and power, basicly usb and power to sata converter.

Damit you were refering to the second picture... So i guess its just a pendive with usb extender to emulate the portable disk you were supposed to get. It is still better that a pendive that is just a usb plug from cut usb cable :p

@enen yes 😂 she was 2.5" and thought it means 2.5TB

They just started hard drive production.

@enen that cicuit is just a pendrive, inside the case of a Samsung external HDD.
The fun fact is that they modified it to be seen as 500 GB and everytime you exceed the real capacity (which is a few MB) it starts to overwrite the old data.
